Hello Kitty Costumes

Japan's culture of cute comes to the shores of the United States with adorable Hello Kitty costumes. A cultural phenomenon that was created in 1974, Hello Kitty's image can be found on just about any item around the world. You may not know that the character's real name is Kitty White, and that she was born on Nov. 1 outside London.

Accessories like pearl bracelets and chokers, patent Mary Janes and sparkly ballet shoes are easy accents that complement all of the ensemble. The headpiece includes the friendly feline's signature red bow and her pert, white ears.
